Interesting poll on ESPN, so I was curious on the feelings of everybody on the forums here. Who do you consider the all-time home run king? Barry Bonds or Hank Aaron? Share why, if you choose.

There's only one answer to this question, and it's incredibly sad that that answer is considered the answer by less than one-quarter of the ESPN poll participants.
Umm the guy that has the most homers which would be Bonds whether we like it or not.
(Poll added.)

Hank Aaron, I think we can attribute at least 8 of Bonds' HRs to roids.
Although if you wanted to really think about it. All time home run king. Oh had far more home runs (albeit in what is considered a lesser league) and unfortunately they did not keep anywhere near accurate records for any of the so called numbers Josh Gibson put up to be considered valid.
And how many of Aaron's home runs can we attribute to amphetamines?Quote:

Of all the things to call him, "mediocre OF" is not one of them.Quote:

When someone can, beyond a shadow of a doubt:
1) prove that Barry Bonds was on steroids
2) prove that steroids caused 7 extra home runs for Bonds
3) prove that the 7 extra home runs were caused during Bonds' time on steroids
4) come up with an algorithm to adjust ALL MLB statistics for ALL players that were "enhanced/dampened" on account of illegal and/or MLB-banned substances
5) adjust said statistics accordingly and across the board
6) prove that Hank Aaron did not benefit from illegal and/or MLB-banned substances, and that any benefits he did have would not have caused him to surpass Ruth or Bonds
7) adjust ALL past statistics accordingly, based on use of illegal and/or MLB-banned substances, across the board
... then we can talk.
